Find the best example from your assigned region of a pure nation-state,
and the best example of a multinational state with a pluralist society.

Review and study the definitions for nation, state, and nation-state as
explained in your textbook Building Geographic Literacy. Then do library
and online research to examine the information on ethnicity, language, and
culture for each country in your assigned region.

Provide each example with demographic statistics and/or a description
of the country's population. What criteria are used to define each country's
sense of nationality and citizenship? (parent's ancestry, race, religion,
ethnicity, language, wealth, place you were born, etc.)

Choose a country for each of the following categories and then describe
their people(s):

1) the most multinational country in the region.

_____________________

2) the country that best fits the description of the true nation-state
(the borders of the state best coincide with the occupation of the single
nation).
